In the “AM Mountain Weather Update 1/4” video by meteorologist Chris Tomer, he discusses the current snowfall impacting Southern Colorado and New Mexico due to the Southern Track storm system. He also anticipates light snow in the Pacific Northwest for several states, including Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado.
He reveals a significant storm cycle involving three distinct storms from January 6 to 13, bringing widespread snow and colder temperatures. The first storm will affect the Inner Mountain West extensively. At the same time, the second one may also hit the region, keeping the door open for a third harsh storm from Alaska and Canada, resulting in extremely cold temperatures. Using satellite imagery, Tomer illustrates the storms’ impact, with potential snowfall accumulations totaling 1 to 3 feet on Mount Washington and significant amounts expected in the Pacific Northwest, Western and Southwest Colorado, Central and northern Idaho, Northwest Montana, Interior BC, and the Northeast
“3 storm cycle for West & East 1/6-1/13 with big totals, arctic blast on/about 1/13 for Intermountain West with air temps running 30-40 (or more) degrees below normal, southern track storm system 1/4-1/5 CO/NM, vanguard light snow ID/MT/UT/WY/CO, Northeast gets moderate to heavy snow 1/6-1/7 & 1/9-1/10 (&70mph gusts) & 1/12-1/13.”
